Belief’s big test

“You don’t know what you really believe in until you’re locked in a bed in a hospital,” said the seriously ill woman.

“What do you mean?” the pastor asked.

“You get your meaning in life from being excessively attractive or working. I don’t look good anymore and lying here, I can’t get up and work.” When you’re flat on your back, your true belief emerges. If your gods go on vacation when you have a crisis, they are proven to be false.

The heart is the core of belief. It is to the person of faith what the protoplasm is to a cell. Real life springs up from the believing heart, life that doesn’t fade under fire nor lose its faith in a hospital room. Hope and faith that stand up when you are flat on your back proves the validity of the belief in your heart!
